Chapter 35

Every time Chen Kexin said that she was hungry, Wang Weixi would go into the kitchen to cook for her. Nevertheless, now when she felt hungry again, Wang Weixi was in his office and she had already consumed all her snacks. This was the biggest challenge she had met since she had gotten married.

She sat down in front of her computer and began to watch Hell Girl, the anime series which she had been infatuated with recently. In the meantime, she felt that her heart had already sank into the hell. What should I do? she thought with a sad face. She rubbed her empty stomach and picked up her cellphone worriedly, thinking about what to do next.

“Should I call Keren?” Chen Kexin looked at her cellphone with some hesitation, while imaging how terrible Chen Keren would become when she received her call. Chen Kexin was pretty sure that Chen Keren would call her “useless” or coldly hang up on her.

Chen Kexin shook her head and decided not to call Keren. Then who else should I call? she wondered and searched for different faces in her head. Her smiling face looked sad now. Sigh, I shouldn’t have chosen such a life-style. I always like to stay at home and never go to a supermarket or buy anything by myself. As I don’t go out very often, I even don’t have a friend to ask for help at such a moment. Alas… Well, Tiantian is a good friend, but I heard that she has a boyfriend now. Considering her looks, it’s not easy for her to find a boyfriend. How can I bother her with my problems now?

With this in mind, Chen Kexin stood up from her chair and then threw herself into a big bed nearby, leaving her anime alone. “Alas,” she sighed and continued to think about how to solve her current problem.

“Grr…” Her stomach kept growling. She turned over and rubbed her stomach helplessly. Should I call Lan Xiao. Brother Lan Xiao is still nice and gentle like before and he always adores me. If I tell him that I’m hungry, will he come to cook for me? Chen Kexin smiled cheerfully and thought, He definitely will. Brother Lan Xiao always pampers me.

Chen Kexin decided to act immediately. She found Lan Xiao’s number and called him without hesitation.

“Sorry, the number you dialed is power off.”

“What?” Chen Kexin did not want to give up and called him again. “Sorry, the number you dialed is power off.”

“Sigh, why do you turn your cellphone off at such a crucial moment?” Chen Kexin grumbled and threw her cellphone on the bed grumpily. Her stomach was still rumbling. She recalled what she had had for lunch today and sighed again, “Alas… I ate a lot, but why do I get hungry so fast?”

In the meantime, Wang Weixi, who had no idea Chen Kexin was starving and sad at home, was busy with a cooperation plan.

Soft wind blew into his office, making him feel somewhat sleepy.

Wang Weixi stood up and walked to the window. He yawned and stretched himself relaxedly, while thinking about what Chen Keren had said just now. He frowned slightly and wondered, Is Lan Xiao really her fiance? Are they engaged secretly? Or, everyone knows it, but she’s just being shy and doesn’t want to let Kexin know it?

He shook his head and smiled helplessly, while thinking, Why do I think of this thing again? Keren is really a complicated girl. Maybe only someone like Lan Xiao is a match for her. Only such a man is able to control her.

At this moment, someone opened the door behind him, and then a strong perfume odor came in. Wang Weixi frowned slightly and thought, It must be Lan Ling. What a strange thing? She impressed me so much when we first met. She was so elegant and graceful at that time, but the next day, she changed and turned into such a… I can’t say that she’s vulgar, but she’s just an ordinary pretty woman now.

Seeing Wang Weixi stand at the window with his back toward her, Lan Ling asked curiously, “Mr. Wang, what’re you thinking about?”

Wang Weixi banished those thoughts and reminded himself in his heart, Wang Weixi, what a jerk you are. If you have time to think about some other woman, you should give your wife a call. He turned around, smiled gently and said, “Nothing, I just want to get some fresh air. “Have you got anything to tell me?” Wang Weixi asked curiously upon seeing the folder in Lan Ling’s hands.

Lan Ling handed the folder to Wang Weixi, and Wang Weixi walked back to sit at his desk and received it. He opened the folder and immediately saw the proposal for the reception banquet at Jingrong Hotel.

“The president wants you to get well-prepared for it,” Lan Ling said flatly, while watching Wang Weixi with eager attention.

Wang Weixi nodded and said, “Got it.” After that, he continued to read the documents. He was always a hard worker, not to mention that he was now the newly promoted general manager.

Disappointment flicked within Lan Ling’s eyes, as Wang Weixi still kept his head down. She believed that if he lifted up his head, he would definitely see her beautiful smile, fall for her and smile back at her.

She never thought about having an affair with a married man, but she could not resist the temptation to do so when faced with Wang Weixi. She used to have a crush on him back in school when he had been her senior. Now she planned to make Wang Weixi fall for her and get divorced. In this way, she would become his wife instead of just having an affair with him.

Unfortunately, she was too anxious for success. When she heard that Wang Weixi’s wife was pure and simple, she began to wear thick make-up, since she believed that men always liked to have a change and Wang Weixi must have been fed up with a simple girl. Beyond her expectations, she tried too hard, and now Wang Weixi was not interested in her at all.

“Has Jinxiu decided who will be in charge of this cooperation?” Wang Weixi looked up and asked with a calm face.

Lan Ling was stunned. Seeing the serious look on Wang Weixi’s face, her heart somehow began to race.

Wang Weixi was surprised by her reaction and asked again, “Lan Ling, is everything alright? Is there any problem?”

Lan Ling hurriedly replied, “No… no problem…”

Wang Weixi nodded and did not mind what had just happened. Neverthelss, Lan Ling’s face became red with shame. She suddenly thought of Wang Weixi’s question and added, “Jinxiu hasn’t decided yet. This is an important project, and Jinxiu’s president of the board, Xiao Nan, has to travel abroad. Given these, Jinxiu hasn’t decided.”

Wang Weixi nodded and continued to read the proposal. When he came to the last page to read the requirements for guests, he was surprised and asked, “Guests need to bring their family members to the banquet?”

Lan Ling nodded calmly.

Wang Weixi thought for a moment, but did not say anything before he signed the proposal. He closed the folder and gave it back to Lan Ling. With this folder in hand, Lan Ling knew that now she did not have a reason to stay inside this office, so she turned around and walked away dejectedly.

The moment she walked to the door, she heard Wang Weixi’s cellphone ring and looked back. “Sweetheart, what’s up?” Wang Weixi picked up his cellphone and said with obvious delightfully on his face, completely forgetting that Lan Ling was still here.

Lan Ling felt a pain in her heart. She opened the door and left quickly.

Looking at the closed door, Wang Weixi shook his head helplessly.

Chen Kexin could not stand the torment of starving anymore and called Wang Weixi. The moment she heard his voice, she sprang out of her bed and talked like a spoiled child to her husband, “Sweetheart, I’m starving.”

Wang Weixi chuckled and said, “Starving? There are some bread and instant noodle at home.”

“I’ve eaten up all of them! Sniff, sniff … What should I do now? I’m starving to death and I’m too weak to speak now. Honey, believe me. Listen…” After that, she deliberately slowed down and said a few sentences.

Upon hearing that, Wang Weixi did not know whether to laugh or cry. He naturally knew what his wife wanted, but now he was at work. “I’m sorry, dear. I’m at work now. I can’t deliver any food to you at this moment,” he said with regret.

Chen Kexin was disappointed upon hearing that. She slumped on her bed and grumbled, “Your sweetheart is starving to death…”

Wang Weixi replied helplessly, “But…”

“Honey, I know that you’re busy, but… What about sister Duanfang? Is he busy now? He doesn’t look like a hard worker at all.” While saying this, Chen Kexin pictured Yi Duanfang at work. She shook her head and thought affirmatively, Yi Duanfang is not a hard worker.

Wang Weixi was stunned at first and then burst into laughter, while thinking, If Yi Duanfang heard this, he would probably bump his head into a wall. “Kexin, don’t say that. Duanfang is the director. I’ll give you a good meal at night and buy many snacks for you,” said Wang Weixi.

Chen Kexin still refused to back down. She rolled on her bed and said, “No, no! Sweetheart, I’m starving, I want to eat now. Waah…”

Wang Weixi felt helpless and sighed secretly, Sigh, what a naughty girl, but that’s what I like about her.

When Wang Weixi remained silent, Chen Kexin pretended to cry and shouted, “Honey, you said that you would listen to me all the time. Waah…. I want to eat. How can you let me starve? You said that you love me. You lied. Waah…”

Wang Weixi felt headache beginning as Chen Kexin said this. Sigh… This girl forgets about all the other things I did for her and blames me for not delivering food to her in time now. What should I do? What should I do? wondered Wang Weixi.

After a moment of thought, he said softly, “Honey, calm down. I’ll go to find Duanfang to see if he’s willing to deliver some food to you.” After saying this, he was surprised by what had just said and sighed secretly, I even start to violate my core principles for my wife now.

“Really? That’s great~~ Hee-hee,, Sister Duanfang is the best. He’ll definitely come. Muah~ My husband is also the best~” Chen Kexin said cheerfully.

Wang Weixi was pleased to hear her sweet voice and said, “Well, smart sweetheart, I’ll hang up and ask Duanfang to call you back later. Is that okay?”

Chen Kexin said, “Okay, okay, then I’ll leave you in peace.”With these words, she hanged up on Wang Weixi.

… Wang Weixi was rendered speechless and sighed in his heart．It looked like that I had to work harder. In the eyes of my wife, food was clearly more important than me. Oh… Sigh.
